   My birthday is in February, so I always felt cheated out of things. My family would do this to me. (*take note: don’t die in cold months or during mom’s annual trek to Myrtle Beach*)

   Now in my 26th year of existence, I’ve decided to have a Half-Year Birthday. Because I only could have indoor pool parties at the Moon Holiday Inn, I’ve decided this year (on or around Aug. 21), I will have a Half-Year Birthday party.

   I’m interestedin the whodunit angle…

   …tough-guy family member?

   …stupid drunk obit writer?

   …disgruntled editor?

   …others?

   Is similiarly intrigued, Large. And also laughing my ass off.

   re: half birthdays. I have two little girls with winter b-days (Nov. & Jan.). We are thinking of doing half birthday in a couple of years — at least once. We’ll see when we get there. It’d just be nice to have an outdoor option for a change.

   We do a have b-day party for my stepson who was born on December 24th. Kids don’t care when you have a party, just that you have it. And, it’s a whole lot easier to get family and friends together in June than it is to compete with all of the holiday hullabalu and the weather.

   P.S. We still have a cake and light the candles on the 24th.

   The worst thing about funerals is always the weather. Oh, and the dead people.

   Danielle, I find sometimes it’s the still living people at the funeral who are the worst thing.

   I’m not sure which aspect of this obit I love the most: the “big bunch of sissies” aside or the odd choice for a portrait photo.
